Carlton, Susan

Love and Haight

(3) YA Seventeen-year-old Chloe is in San Francisco with her best friend MJ for winter break, but not just for fun and freedom--she needs an abortion, which is (pretty much) legal in California in 1971. Complicating matters further is Chloe's secret ex-boyfriend (and MJ's brother) Teddy and her flighty hippie aunt Kiki. Carlton nails the setting--and the emotional intricacies of abortion.
